Every waterfront bridge on Redfish Bay faces the same challenge: spanning clear saltwater with high salinity over sand and seagrass meadows substrate while handling moderate wind fetch, boat wakes from heavy recreational traffic. Shore Protect Team engineers each crossing for the actual conditions at the site near Aransas Pass, Port Aransas, Ingleside on the Bay.
Shore Protect Team builds bridges from treated wood, steel, and aluminum — selecting the material that matches the span, loading, and exposure. Pilings are driven to refusal or engineered depth in the bay's sand and seagrass meadows. Walkway and boardwalk approaches are integrated to provide seamless access from the bridge to the waterfront.

Bridge repair along Redfish Bay: evaluating pilings in sand and seagrass meadows, replacing decking and framing, upgrading hardware, and restoring structural capacity. Shore Protect Team determines whether repair or replacement is the right approach for each crossing.
Pedestrian-only bridges on Redfish Bay are designed for 40-60 psf live load. Golf cart bridges need 100+ psf. Light vehicle crossings require full vehicular load rating. Shore Protect Team engineers each bridge for its intended traffic.
Starting at $35/sq ft for new construction and $25/sq ft for repair on Redfish Bay. Final cost depends on span length, width, load rating, material, piling depth in sand and seagrass meadows, and any railing or lighting requirements.
Redfish Bay is subject to moderate wind fetch, boat wakes from heavy recreational traffic. Bridges must be designed with adequate flood clearance above the design water surface elevation. Pilings and abutments must withstand scour forces from flood current in sand and seagrass meadows substrate.
If pilings and primary structural members are sound, most decking and railing damage can be repaired. If pilings have settled, corroded through, or been undermined by scour in sand and seagrass meadows, full replacement is usually the better investment.
